Oh JJ I need a few inches off the waist too!!  I need all of the above and

I also would like a gardener, and a personal chauffeur.

Also It would be nice to have a device where I can pause life while I go have a nap, so I don't miss out on too much .

Oh and in my case (we have 5 dogs) a personal poop picker upper!!! lol!!

Gifts you could buy me.....

A maid, chef, cleaner, personal shopper, gift wrapper

An automatic vacume robot

Coffee machine that does everything including handing me the cup

Quixes tutu then i'd have a reason for wobbling all over the place (expressive dance)

Motorised recliner, one that goes at least 50 in first gear, dont forget to add the overly annoying horn sounds

A hovering sign that warns people to get out of my way cause if i have to side step the next twit that thinks the world revolves around them i'm going to have a hiss fit

Shops that dont fill the isles with loverly glasswear that costs a fortune and breaks by looking at it.

Oh i'd also like to be able to wear that really really nice dress i saw, so that would mean a few more inches in height and a few less inches around the middle!

Any takers

Cheers........JJ

I read that essay a few days ago, and it's fun seeing the additional suggestions here!  I swear, I'm going to give away some of those things I already have, including the "Buns of Steel" videos (tee hee!) for presents!

I gave most all my high-heeled shoes to my daughter who wears the same size, and likes my taste.  

The inspirational posters idea made me laugh, because when those were selling fast, a company that sold spoofs of those same posters sent one of their catalogs my way.  It was hysterical!  

Happy Holidaze, Everybody!

Oh, and great essay!  I thought I was the only one who saw red when told to try harder or shown pictures of mountains, lol.

Thanks DV,

Now I know I am part of the *in crowd* too.  That really was a well thought out essay.

Fortunately our extended  family decided this year to donate to a charity of our choice instead of buying more stuff that no one really needs or wants. So I only have to smile at the gifts from my  children and DH!  

be well,
Lulu
